Just another Noob with an intro and a bunch of Q's.....and long winded, sorry!

Finally, I can transition from a lurker to a chatter. I picked up a baby normal about 2 weeks ago and have been reading up as much as I can mostly here on BPnet. I was hoping to not become an addict, hence why I lurked for so long. I have what you may call an addictive personality....Ok, so got my first ball, and now I am hooked. Best part is my 3 year old daughter basically stole him from me. She wants to hold him 24/7 but only gets to for about 15 min a day. My wife, well, she wants absolutely nothing to do with a snake. Cool thing is, neither did I and that's why I got one. I have always been not afraid, but uncomfortable around them, but my job has somewhat forced me to deal with them (fire dept), so I figured why not just befriend them. Ok Ok, moving on...so I have been doing a ton of research/homework. I have a side room that was added onto the side of my garage before I bought the home. It's roughly 6'x15' or so and houses a fridge. I am secretly thinking of turning it into a reptile room.
I have sold off some stuff from some other hobbies, and now want to build a small collection/plan to possibly breed in the future. My daughter's ball, Diego, is currently in a 40G tank and doing great. I plan to order a set of racks from Animal Plastics, and I have a few Q's:

Here is what I think I need, what am I missing!

The AP racks (Economy 6/12)
Herpstat 2
Sterilite tubs
Hides
Water bowls
Mister bottles (already have)

There is lighting in the room. Do the racks and Herpstat come with everything I need to provide heat?

Next Chapter;

I just purchased a Male Pastave, Female Lesser, Female Pastel, all arriving next week. There is a Show coming to town here in San Diego in 3 weeks, where I am thinking of adding 2 females, and or an albino of some sort as I love the coloring.

Ok, here are some Q's:

How many females can you breed one male to in one season, and how far apart do the breedings have to be? I am thinking this has to do with how often they produce sperm plugs, which I have yet to learn.

Is live better than frozen? I am thinking I can provide either just as easily.

Ok, that's enough for now. I was also thinking that if someone experienced wants to simply trade pm's with me instead of a long thread, that will work too.

Thanks for your time......Jake
